title: Real-time monitoring of Salmonella enterica in free-range geese.
abstract: Free-range geese were sampled longitudinally and Salmonella isolates characterized to reveal highly diverging colonization dynamics. One flock was intermittently colonized with one strain of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis from 2 weeks of age, while in another, S. enterica serovar Mbandaka appeared after 9 weeks, without dissemination but with multiple serovars appearing at later stages.
